If a home could talk, what would it tell you? An Asheville, NC, company is acting as the tell-all for homes across the country. The firm created a database that contains building and permitting information from U.S. cities and counties.
The information is sold to appraisers, inspectors, and banks. Fees range from a single report ($39.99) to report services costing between ($100 to $300 per month). But there’s something even better for consumers.
“BuildFax is proud to be able to offer consumers free access to comprehensive permitting reports on their property and on potential purchases,” said Holly Tachovsky, president of BuildFax. Tachovsky believes these reports are essential for understanding a home’s history.
